In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rocker: fix memory leak in rocker_world_port_post_fini() In rocker_world_port_pre_init(), rocker_port->wpriv is allocated with kzalloc(wops->port_priv_size, GFP_KERNEL). However, in rocker_world_port_post_fini(), the memory is only freed when wops->port_post_fini callback is set: if (!wops->port_post_fini) return; wops->port_post_fini(rocker_port); kfree(rocker_port->wpriv); Since rocker_ofdpa_ops does not implement port_post_fini callback (it is NULL), the wpriv memory allocated for each port is never freed when ports are removed. This leads to a memory leak of sizeof(struct ofdpa_port) bytes per port on every device removal. Fix this by always calling kfree(rocker_port->wpriv) regardless of whether the port_post_fini callback exists.

There was a device discovery/fabric scan in progress. A module unload was issued which     set the UNLOADING flag. As part of the discovery, after receiving an interrupt a work queue was scheduled     (which involved a work to be queued). Since the UNLOADING flag is set, the work item was not allocated and     the mapped memory had to be freed. The free occurred in interrupt context leading to system crash. Delay     the driver unload until the fabric scan is complete to avoid the crash. (CVE-2025-71235)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow     that cause system hang When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when calculating     nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks     value will become a very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer function
    __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem     lock remains held for a long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem lock,     resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1]. If the ending block is too small, typically if it is     smaller than 4KiB range, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to attempt a discard     request beyond the device size causing the hang. Exiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in     this case) to range->len. Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small, a     conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is equivalent to a no-op; it will not     perform any trimming and will not throw an error.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: virtio - Add spinlock     protection with virtqueue notification When VM boots with one virtio-crypto PCI device and builtin     backend, run openssl benchmark command with multiple processes, such as openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc
    -engine afalg -seconds 10 -multi 32 openssl processes will hangup and there is error reported like this:
    virtio_crypto virtio0: dataq.0:id 3 is not a head! It seems that the data virtqueue need protection when     it is handled for virtio done notification. If the spinlock protection is added in virtcrypto_done_task(),     openssl benchmark with multiple processes works well. (CVE-2026-23229)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: romfs: check sb_set_blocksize() return     value romfs_fill_super() ignores the return value of sb_set_blocksize(), which can fail if the requested     block size is incompatible with the block device's configuration. This can be triggered by setting a loop     device's block size larger than PAGE_SIZE using ioctl(LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE, 32768), then mounting a romfs     filesystem on that device. When sb_set_blocksize(sb, ROMBSIZE) is called with ROMBSIZE=4096 but the device     has logical_block_size=32768, bdev_validate_blocksize() fails because the requested size is smaller than     the device's logical block size. sb_set_blocksize() returns 0 (failure), but romfs ignores this and     continues mounting. The superblock's block size remains at the device's logical block size (32768). Later,     when sb_bread() attempts I/O with this oversized block size, it triggers a kernel BUG in folio_set_bh():
    kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c:1582! BUG_ON(size > PAGE_SIZE); Fix by checking the return value of     sb_set_blocksize() and failing the mount with -EINVAL if it returns 0. (CVE-2026-23238)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - rocker: fix memory leak in rocker_world_port_post_fini() In rocker_world_port_pre_init(),     rocker_port->wpriv is allocated with kzalloc(wops->port_priv_size, GFP_KERNEL). However, in     rocker_world_port_post_fini(), the memory is only freed when wops->port_post_fini callback is set: if     (!wops->port_post_fini) return; wops->port_post_fini(rocker_port); kfree(rocker_port->wpriv); Since     rocker_ofdpa_ops does not implement port_post_fini callback (it is NULL), the wpriv memory allocated for     each port is never freed when ports are removed. This leads to a memory leak of sizeof(struct ofdpa_port)     bytes per port on every device removal. Fix this by always calling kfree(rocker_port->wpriv) regardless of     whether the port_post_fini callback exists. (CVE-2026-23164)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
